Hello, I'm Heather Hunter. I'm an LPC in the state of Idaho. Much of my professional experience has been working with children and adolescents, and I am widening my scope to include therapeutic services for adults. I have experience with trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem, anxiety, and depression.
I take a person-centered approach when working with my clients. As Carl Rogers explained "It is the client who knows what hurts, what directions to go, what problems are crucial, what experiences have been deeply buried." In our work together, I will walk along side you in your journey of self-discovery, healing, growth, and wellness. My goal is to facilitate a safe space for exploration, a space where vulnerability and truth can be shared without judgement.
I often share resources, information, and homework that relate to your therapeutic goals. These are optional and can be done at your leisure and discretion. Remember, this experience is your own. I am here to help in a way that is meaningful for you. I am grateful for the opportunity to facilitate spaces of healing and human connection. I look forward to hearing form you soon. Take care!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
